Pumpkin Hollow Mine Underground Restart Plans Advancement

YERINGTON,NV - Nevada Copper reported on its operations and financing initiatives and activities at its Pumpkin Hollow copper mine located in Yerington, Nevada. Management has advanced its Underground Mine restart plans, which focus on the acceleration of key capital items followed by the development of a significant stope ore inventory in advance of a mill restart and completion of production ramp-up. The development of restart plans has allowed the Company to advance financing discussions with its key stakeholders. The commencement of restart activities is contingent on the Company obtaining long-term financing.

The Company continues to work with its creditors and vendors to defer payments and maintain the operation in a temporary suspension status, with only limited operational activities being undertaken to protect the Company’s assets, to minimize cash burn until closing of a restart funding package.
